Tech Will Save Us has launched its first ever campaign during the holiday season to promote a range of tech kits featuring Microbot, Synth Kit and Dough Universe. Tech Will Save Us toys introduce kids to fundamental STE(A)M principles; encouraging them to make, code and invent.

Created by advertising agency Isobel, the ‘Side Effects’ campaign plays off the imagination of kids, showing what sort of clever innovations and hacks they can create with tech toys. The opening frame heeds a familiar 'Warning' sign, letting parents know about the possible ‘side effects’ these tech toys could have on their kid’s lives.

But there’s an underlying message of empowerment, directed to all kids. Don’t want to walk the dog? No problem, hack your Microbot to do it for you.

The campaign will run in the UK and US online, in out of home, radio and direct communications
